Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Edition. THE FEAR AND THE FREEDOM is Keith Lowe's follow up to SAVAGE CONTINENT. While that book painted a picture of Europe in all of its horror as World War II was ending, THE FEAR AND THE FREEDOM looks at all that has happened since, focusing on the changes that were brought about because of World War II -- simultaneously one of the most catastrophic and most innovative events in history. It killed millions and eradicated empires, creating the idea of human rights and giving birth to the United Nations. It was because of the war that penicillin was first mass-produced, computers were developed, and rockets first sent to the edge of space. The war created new philosophies, new ways of living, new architecture: this was the era of Le Corbusier, Simone de Beauvoir, and Chariman Mao. But amidst the waves of revolution and idealism there were also fears of globalization, a dread of the atom bomb, and an unexpressed longing for a past forever gone. All of these things and more came about as direct consequences of the car and continue to affect the world that we live in today. THE FEAR AND THE FREEDOM is the first book to look at all of the changes brought about because of World War II. Based on research from five continents, Keith Lowe's THE FEAR AND THE FREEDOM tells the very human story of how the war not only transformed our world, but also changed the very way we think about ourselves.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: New. The Second World War was one of the most destructive in history, but also one of the most innovative, sweeping away empires and creating new global institutions. Ranging over five continents, this study examines how the war shaped the modern world, inaugurating the arms race and the space race, the United Nations and Bretton Woods, decolonization and globalization. With demagoguery on the rise again, it argues, we cannot afford to ignore this legacy. Codice articolo 510488
